I chose Grizzly Bear Buns to read because I have never been to a strip club and in my younger days I was curious but never got around to going and now I honestly have no real desire to go to one. I am good with reading naughty books and viewing the occasional bedroom scene in the movies, even though I think movies need to be more equal opportunity in the nudity department.

Grizzly Bear Buns has a really great start with the strip joint and hot guys and all but after the strip club it kind of goes down from there making it a good thing that nearly 50% of the story takes place there before Helen runs away like a scared rabbit. The loser ex-boyfriend with his looser girlfriend take the cake in adolescent behavior that is just plain pathetic in adults, who are in their late twenties, sad really when you think about it. The bedroom scene could really use a lot of help I mean if you are going to have guys eating chocolate and whip cream off each other in a scene, for the love of all things hot and naughty, make the men naked and involve the man parts. The rest of the bedroom scene which takes place over a number of chapters is rather lame and uninspiring leaving me cold. I mean really a reference to communist in the middle of a sex scene, that is so not even close to sexy or hot, more along the lines of rude and highly inappropriate for what is happening.

I am having a hard time rating the heat in Grizzly Bear Buns because of the mood busters scatter throughout the bedroom scenes, they left me scratching my head and wondering what the author could possibly be thinking at a time like that. Clearly there is some active sexually activity going on but is it worth even a 4-star rating that I would normally give such scenes? They were graphic scenes but with the crap they left me with a dilemma of heat rating. In the end, I was glad that this book was a freebee and that I hadn’t wasted and money on something that I am going to delete from my library. The only question I am trying to answer for myself now is whether or not I should read the other books in the series also, as I downloaded them around the same time for the same reason I had gotten Grizzly Bear Buns.

Rumpled Bear Skin (Shifter Princes, #5)
by Sable Sylvan

Artemis and Jasper story was very fun. I love the way the mate marks play a major part in these stories. And I love Jasper's nickname.

I had even figured out the mate mark this time before it was revealed!

Sable Sylvan does a fantastic job of writing a remix of these wonderful fairy-tales. They are so far from the original, but with enough hints as to which fairy-tale it is about.

Can't wait to read Blue Bear.

Rapunzel And The Billionaire Bear (Shifter Princes, #4)
by Sable Sylvan

It's amazing how some stories can bring back memories. This one brought back a memory of girl I knew in high school. Unfortunately there was no billionaire bear to come to her rescue.

Zelda has believed herself to be sick since she was 16. Her adoptive mother told her she had to stay in a penthouse. Her meals were ordered for her. There was a cleaning crew and several others that would all tend to her needs. She didn't want for anything except companionship, love and freedom. That's not to much to ask for....is it?

Lance is approached by Lorelei, a bear shifter, and told that she thinks he would love to meet her daughter. That she is sure they would hit it off well. Lance decides to meet her daughter, Zelda, and he is glad that he has. Zelda is his mate. She has been closely watched and never touched, so he has to figure out how to tell her.

But, everything is not as it seems for Zelda. There have been many secrets kept from Zelda and now she is going to have to figure out just what she wants. She knows she wants Lance, but is she going to have to give up everything else to be with him?
